Roy’s Shrimp Salad With Capers, Feta, and Avocado

April 21, 2014 by Tonja 5 Comments

We were in San Diego for a long weekend this winter and finally ate at the Famous Roy’s Hawaiian Fusion Cuisine.  It was fantastic.  We had a beautiful view of the ocean and my husband and I enjoyed a long leisurely dinner.  Everything on the menu was exceptional but the shrimp salad stood out.  It was the combo of fresh shrimp, lime, capers, feta, and avocado that all balanced so perfectly together.   I have been meaning to re-create this one at home and finally did.  I think I came pretty close.

Make this for a weeknight meal or something special for your dinner guests.
